Cyrano de Bergerac
by Edmond Rostand
Overall, the play was amazing. I loved the characters and the fact that each act played out more like a scene without too many set changes. The entire time I was reading it I could see it on stage. However, I feel like the plot itself moved a little too quickly for me, and I didn't completely agree with the character of Roxanne. Like, the entire play I really liked her character and how independent she was, but the fifth act just ruined her for me. The ease with which she rerouted her mind didn't make too much sense to me. Maybe it would have if I had seen the play on stage. However, I was reading it in a Foreign literature class, and then I read it in French, and both times it just seemed a little shallow compared to how her character had acted the rest of the play. The character of Cyrano, though, is what really made this play great, and I particularly enjoyed his entire development throughout the play, which was the purpose, really. It humanized him, and made him less of this idolized figure in history.
